Pat Steir, the trailblazing feminist artist known for expanding the possibilities of abstract painting, died on Wednesday, March 25, at the age of 87. Her death was confirmed by her husband, Joost Elffers, and her niece, Lily Sukoneck-Cohen. Born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1938, and having traveled extensively throughout her life, Steir died in New York City, the place she considered her true home. Through works like her celebrated “Waterfalls” series, she leaves a legacy of artistic surrender and reverence for the gesture.
